defense secretary panetta has allowed allen to stay on in afghanistan. officials are reviewing, whatever happens is a matter of military rule, not a violation of federal criminal law. general allen will remain in his job. but the defense secretary has asked for the general's pending nomination, as nato's top commander to europe will be delayed. rob and paula? >> thank you for sorting all of that out on this tuesday morning. thanks. >>> a lot of layers to this story to say the least. what's making it newsworthy is what access did paula have to classified information? was national security ever at risk? that's why this is getting so much attention beyond the soap opera-like details of this. it's really the access issue and national security. >> layers, would be an understatement. >> lots of questions. >>> another developing story overnight. the search is on for tech pioneer john mcafee, wanted for questioning in a murder. mcafee, who gave his name to the famous anti-virus software, lives in the country of belize, where his neighbor has been found shot to d
